Andromeda said you were Delphinius
And so first I sought you there.
Questioned and marking Pegasus
Aquarius was quite aware…
That its noon in the summertime air.
.
Draco watched as the dial went round
Wondering when they’d see the sound
.
And so I turned and jumped the dipper
Skipping along to the Leo’s Minor
Knowing in between the Lynx and Hydra
Is a day and a name that would point to the Major
.
Draco ET URSA MINOR… a reminder
To find Her while the earrings are singing
CameLeoPardalis, knot a wall Russ
But a cat Ocelot … ComeAlot she did;
.
Draw me Commando ;)~
Draco said GR Muralis… Quadrans clear.
Plate 1
His beginning was his end, being swallowed by Cronus
Fortuitously his fortune averted when through Zeus he was saved
With his trusted trident his magnificence reigned
Amphritite at his side, after Delphinius convinced the nymph majesty
God of the ocean, second to none, his wrath was his ultimate fury
Recall the flood to Attic Plain, hark the drownings and shipwrecks!
His magnificence unrivalled, albeit to Athena’s olive tree
His rumoured son, none other than the legendary ruler Theseus
He had his way with Medusa, Caeneus and the mortal Tyro
Subtle yet truly defined, his earthquakes lie testament
Fear the wrath of Neptune, the God of the ocean
